Azuma saw this and also dodged immediately.
BOOM———!!
The large tree where Azuma had just been was instantly pulverized.
"Hey now! Bullying such a cute little girl, are you even a man?"
A slightly playful voice rang out, and then Kael was seen walking out of the forest, dragging someone behind him.
"Brother Kael!!"
Seeing Kael, Wendy immediately broke into a joyful smile.
"Ka... Kael?!"
Mest was a bit dazed. The Kael he saw didn't look like this. That's right, Kael used Take Over magic and could transform into others.
"Kael?"
Hearing the name, Azuma's gaze immediately turned serious as he looked at Kael.
"I've heard of your name. I've also seen your battle with Jose. You are very strong, able to defeat even one of the Ten Wizard Saints. I am Azuma, one of the Seven Kin of Purgatory from Grimoire Heart. Let us have a showdown..."
Just as Azuma was about to challenge Kael to a showdown, he saw the person Kael was dragging, and his face changed drastically.
"That... that... could that be..."
Kael glanced at Zeref and said, "You mean him? He is the Black Wizard Zeref you guys are looking for."
"Zeref?!! This... how is this possible?!"
Mest's face paled instantly upon hearing this. Zeref, the legendary strongest and most evil Black Wizard in history; this guy was actually still alive.
"Zeref..."
Azuma never expected that Zeref, whom he had spent so much effort searching for, would just appear in front of him like this.
Kael said to Azuma, "Alright, go notify Grimoire Heart to come over. Zeref is in my hands."
"You... what do you mean by that?"
"What? Aren't you looking for Zeref? Now Zeref is right here. I've delivered him to you. You just need to come and take him."
"What are you trying to do?"
Azuma looked puzzled, not understanding Kael's intentions. Mest was also very perplexed. Could Kael be in league with Grimoire Heart?
The corners of Kael's mouth curled up slightly: "What am I doing? Naturally, I'm calling all of you over so I can slaughter you."
"What————?!!"
Everyone present was stunned by Kael's words.
What did Kael just say? He wanted to call all of Grimoire Heart over and then take them out.
"Kael! Don't be too arrogant! Don't think that just because you defeated two of the Ten Wizard Saints and took down the Oración Seis, you can contend with Grimoire Heart. You don't understand the terror of Grimoire Heart at all!"
Azuma spoke with a serious expression. Grimoire Heart's Seven Kin of Purgatory were already very strong. Above them were two even stronger Vice-Guild Masters. One was the Ten Wizard Saint Jose Porla, and the other was the Grand Wizard known for leaving 'no blade of grass behind' wherever he went, Bluenote Stinger.
Further up was the unfathomably powerful Guild Master, Hades.
Not counting the rest of Grimoire Heart, there were already three individuals with combat power at the level of the Ten Wizard Saints.
Of course, Fairy Tail's strength was not weak. According to the data he knew, Kael was undoubtedly a Ten Wizard Saint-level combatant, and then there was Fairy Tail's Guild Master, Makarov.
That made only two Ten Wizard Saint-level fighters. Such power simply could not compete with Grimoire Heart.
"If I tell you to notify them, then notify them. Stop talking nonsense."
Azuma's eyes narrowed slightly: "Fine!"
Master Hades intended to deal with Fairy Tail anyway. Finding Zeref now just saved them some trouble.
On the Grimoire Heart airship.
The Lacrima lit up.
"What is it?"
Hades asked.
"Master Hades, Zeref has been found. He is currently in the hands of Fairy Tail's Kael."
"Kael? Hmph! That kid really has some skill. Keep an eye on him, don't lose him."
"No, that's not it..."
Suddenly, Kael's voice rang out: "Grimoire Heart, Master Hades, is it? Zeref is currently in my hands. If you don't want to go searching for Zeref in the cracks of space, then get over here quickly."
"This voice... it's that brat!"
Jose was furious the moment he heard Kael's voice.
Hades's brow furrowed: "Kid, what do you mean?"
"It doesn't mean much. Don't you want to find Zeref and then destroy Fairy Tail? Why not save some trouble? Come directly to me. That way, you can find Zeref, and I can slaughter you all while I'm at it."
"What!!"
"This kid! He's too arrogant!"
"Kill him! He must be killed!"...
The members of Grimoire Heart were all enraged by these words. What was this guy saying? He wanted to destroy their Grimoire Heart alone.
They were Grimoire Heart, not some generic dark guild.
"Heh! Interesting. Truly interesting. Brat, then it shall be as you wish."
Hades hung up the communication after saying that.
"Kael! That guy! I'm going to burn him to ashes completely!!"
Zancrow's body erupted in black flames.
Rustyrose said softly, "Don't be impulsive, Zancrow. That guy Kael isn't that easy to deal with."
Kael's name resounded throughout the entire Ishgar continent. The battle between Kael and Jose had long been made into a Lacrima recording and spread across the continent.
"You are not his match. Leave that kid to me!"
Jose said coldly. He had been training hard just to take revenge on Kael.
Hades smiled faintly: "It doesn't matter. We were going to destroy Fairy Tail anyway. Since that kid wants to die first, we'll grant his wish."
"Crack!"
Azuma crushed the Lacrima.
"Alright, now you can fight me, right?"
Azuma said while looking at Kael. He craved battle with the strong, and Kael was undoubtedly an extremely powerful opponent.
Kael nodded: "Sure. I'm free anyway, so I might as well play with you for a bit."
"Folium Sica!"
With a wave of Azuma's hand, a massive number of leaves flew toward Kael like swords.
Kael stood in place with his hands in his pockets, not moving.
"It's over!"
Mest thought Kael was done for.
Suddenly!
Every leaf that reached Kael's side came to a complete standstill.
"What?!"
Both Mest and Azuma were shocked. Neither of them understood Kael's ability, which he had received from Satoru Gojo.
"Ramus Sica!"
Although Azuma didn't understand Kael's ability, his attacks wouldn't stop because of it.
"Ramus Sica!"
Countless branches stabbed toward Kael.
Kael still stood in place with his hands in his pockets. All the branches stopped in front of him just like the leaves, unable to advance a single step.
Swish———!
Azuma suddenly appeared behind Kael, his palm aimed right at him.
"Die!!"
"Domain Expansion:"
"BOOM————!!"
A violent explosion erupted.
